Apprenticeship as merchant (m/f/d) in wholesale and foreign trade management
- Hamburg
- Vocational training
Training at Louis doesn't just mean lots of variety in a wide range of company departments and plenty of opportunities for advancement in the future. Above all, it means working independently. With your own responsibility. And, of course, as part of a team. Because Louis sees its trainees of today as the employees of tomorrow and the potential department managers of the day after tomorrow.
You ensure that the product range at Louis is always up to date. To do this, you not only take care of goods orders, you are also involved in the development of new products: Market observation, sample procurement, quality assurance, pricing - the tasks go far beyond the purely commercial. And because you do all this in close cooperation with our overseas suppliers, you should speak good English.
- Training starts in August 2025
- You will complete your practical training at our company headquarters in Hamburg Allermöhe.
- The duration of the apprenticeship is 3 years, with the possibility to shorten your apprenticeship if you do well
